Finally done with the jackhammering and wrapped up the day by hauling out all the rubble.
Surprisingly little water damage on the floor and walls, considering how bad it looked on the surface. I’m a bit intimidated by the scale of this job, even though I’ve done one before. Just need to break it down into tasks and focus on one step at a time instead of the whole thing at once.
I hadn’t even thought of that! I did some oxyacetylene welding many moons ago and I remember the heat being absolutely intolerable at times.
I do machining as a hobby now and I’d really like to filter out cutting oil smoke. My biggest fear using a PAPR is my shop is the hose—I’d need to find a way to keep it REALLY close to my body. I don’t want to get pulled into my lathe face-first.
One like this might work if you don’t want to mess with hoses.
